Antec NeoPower 650 Review

Introduction

To the educated masses, power supplies are the necessary evil close to the top of the build list when specing out a new machine. Unfortunately, for the rest, power supplies seem to be an afterthought in the build process and often, what little budget is leftover gets used on a sub-par power supply or a case/power supply combo. I have seen too many posts in the forums from users complaining of system instabilities only to have it boil down to a weak or underrated power supply. With today’s power hungry components, having a quality power supply with enough overhead to run efficiently is more important than ever.

Closer Look:
